Elijah Punturi , 29 , has heart failure and will find out April 3 if he is strong enough to be on transplant list.
He has worked as a referee since 2015 , logging more than 12,000 games in those 10 years .
He was adopted by Terri Lee Apple when he was 5 , a Kazakh boy with a missing hand.
Punturi was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in August .
He has reffed more than 12,000 games at the high school level all the way down to first grade.
The 28-year-old has a heart condition that prevents his ability to pump oxygen-rich blood to his body.
A left ventricular assist device or heart pump was the answer for Punturi .
The device sits in the left side of the heart and pumps blood to the aorta which is the main artery that gives blood to rest of the body.
After 43 days in the hospital and a lot of rehab, he was back on the court again this past weekend .
